Answer to Problem 1MM

Correct answer: Stroke a newborn’s cheek and the infant will root for a nipple. This illustrates a reflex. Hence, option a. is the correct answer.

Explanation of Solution

Reason for correct statement:

Option a. is given as “a reflex”. According to the studies of Psychologist Piaget, the direction of the experiment is gone toward the belief that the development of a child’s mind is in a series of stages. The brain of the new born baby is developed and the child shows a reflex action for every respective action on the basis of action per reaction. Hence, option a. is the correct answer.

Reasons for incorrect statement:

Option b. is given as “nature”. Nature of the child is considered according to the continuous action of the child, but here a sudden action happens. Hence, option b. is incorrect.

Option c. is given as “a preference”. Preference is the possible thing that a child wants to do, but here a sudden action happens. Hence, option c. is incorrect.

Option d. is given as “continuity”. A continuous series of work is called continuity, but here a sudden action happens. Hence, option d. is incorrect.

Hence, options b., c., and d. are incorrect.

Conclusion
Stroke a newborn’s cheek and the infant will root for a nipple is a reflex action.
